Hey, it's my buddy! You came back! Are we gonna play or what?
Oh, and you brought a friend, too! Look at how shiny he is. Hee hee.
|
Reilly
|
And hello to you, too! What game are we gonna play today, hmmm?
|
Keaghan
|
I want to go to the Ainle catacombs.
|
|
(A shadow passes over Reilly's face.)
|
Keaghan
|
There is something I need to know. A truth can only be uncovered there...
|
Reilly
|
Wrong, friend. So, so, very, very, wrong. The only truth there is darkness.
That's where the darkness learned to wear the mast of truth. Stay away.
|
Keaghan
|
The truth that hides there cost the lord of the Ortel Castle his life. As his commander, I must find out what he died for.
|
Reilly
|
I'm not gonna help anyone make the same mistakes again. The cadet boy suffered for it...and it will only be worse now.
|
Keaghan
|
(Keaghan slams his armored fist on the table.) More WILL die if we DON'T learn the truth.
Do you want that, old man? Do you want more to follow the boy and Ingkells?
|
Reilly
|
(Reilly looks Keaghan straight in the eye.) More will die regardless.
If they die in Ainle, it is a waste. If they die elsewhere, it is fate.
But this truth you seek, THAT will kill more than you can imagine if set free.
|
Keaghan
|
I'm not going to back down now. I cannot, I WILL not allow this to continue.
I would rather suffer with the truth than suffer in ignorance.
I owe Ingkells at least that much.
|
Reilly
|
You make a dangerous decision for everyone, friend. Not just yourself. This is not just on your head.
And I won't be part of it. Bad enough that I let Brynn go.
You'll get no more from me, shiny-man
